He came searching for the ghost of his sister. He found a town that makes its own.
Dr. Alistair Finch is a man haunted by failure. A disgraced academic, his once-promising career was destroyed by his unconventional theories on folklore. Now, he's chasing one last, desperate story: the chilling legend of Hollow Creek, a secluded New England town where children are said to vanish on Halloween, only to return days later... changed.
Driven by the two-decade-old wound of his own sister's disappearance on that fateful night, Alistair is determined to unearth the truth behind the October Children. But Hollow Creek is a town that guards its secrets with a quiet, unnerving tenacity. He soon learns he isn't just investigating a local legend; he's stumbled upon a terrifying, ancient pact that has kept the town prosperous at an unspeakable price-a bargain with a primal power that dwells in the shade of the world.
As Alistair peels back the layers of a truth rooted in the very soil of the valley, the line between his academic research and his personal grief begins to blur. The answers he seeks are not just in the town's archives, but in the whispering woods, in the memory of the land itself, and in the chilling prophecy that to find his sister, he must confront the darkness on Halloween night. In this slow-burn, atmospheric folk horror, the truth may be more terrifying than any ghost story, a revelation that could shatter his sanity and reweave the very fabric of his soul.
